    No matter what car, as long as the Autobahn is not crowded it's nice to drive sometimes 140 mph

    Yes, as soon as the project is finished it will ship to Germany.

      It took a while but now a bunch of new pics.

      Here the body after it was Line-Xed












      the frame Line-Xed



      starting to put it all together again







      I hope to get back the body from the paint shop next week. I'm really excited to see the new paint job.

            Andy, I saw your frame last Friday when I stopped by to talk with Randy. Looks nice. BTW, I paid him for your transfer case. Thanks again. Did you decide which Rhino grille you will be using? I might be in the market for one, and if you didn't use the one you got from me, I'd like to buy it back.

                    It took a while to continue this story because the paint shop is more than slow... Here some pics












                    Installing the AMC 20 rear end with Auburn locker










                    Some shots of the frame







                    It seems the progress now gets faster, hopefully next shots Tuesday or Wednesday with body mounted to frame.
